Book Review: Enter Sandman by Stephanie Williams

Thursday September 16, 2004
Two months after her 30th birthday, celebrated journalist, Stephanie Williams, was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. Williams, wanting to be an exception to the Oliver Wendall Holmes' statement, "Most people go to their graves with their music still inside them," made a pact with her friend, Adam Fawer. They would write and finish thir novels.

For three years, Williams battled breast cancer and wrote her book. The resultant novel, Enter Sandman, is a largely biographical account of her struggle. Stephanie Williams died on July 3, 2004, just weeks after the book's publication.
